Fall 2013

The Stories We Tellby Amir

2

I recently learned that entertainer Tony Danza has vowed to master a new craft every year. Accordingly, Danza has boxed, tap-danced, rapped, hosted a talk show, written

a cookbook, and taught high school. His vow has spawned an Internet meme mostly mocking

our celebration of celebrity and the self-absorption of social and mainstream media.

Taking the celebrity aspect out of it, I find something profound in the vow itself. We often

create stories about ourselves – We say things like, “I can't cook,” “I can’t dance,” “I am not

good at math,” or “I am not artistic.” These stories serve no purpose other than to limit what

we attempt to do in our own lifetime. We start to believe that we are who we “think” we are.

The Yoga Sutras tell us that the primary source of all suffering this precise mis-understanding.

We are told by the ancient sages that we’ve mistakenly believed some habitual story we’ve

told ourselves. Often, that story includes a plot-line of “can’t-ness,” and that mis-belief serves to reinforce a habit we’re not ready to let go of, or prevent us from choosing a new, more

fulfilling one.

So take a moment to think about how many more years you have left on this planet. And then

imagine that you mastered (or even simply attempted) one new craft every year. How

fulfilling would that be? How differently would you then tell the Big Story of your life? Not only

would you be able to enjoy these new crafts throughout remainder of your life, but more

importantly, you wouldn't be left at the end with a big bucket list of things that you never tried

– and a long story you told about yourself that was never quite true.

So, if you've heard that I'm learning to tango, now you know why.

New This Fall

First Friday Freeform:Build a Bridge to Home Practicewith Anne JablonskiOn the first Friday of every month, join Anne as she loosely guides you into a creative and personally-relevant practice. Class includes a guided opening meditation followed by suggestions for self-inquiry into options within various poses. Each class will end with a guided savasana, and in the heart of class, students will do their own practice – usually to music – drawing inspiration from the community. If you've always wanted a home practice but haven’t made the leap, this environment can provide the perfect motivation. By design, First Friday Freeforms will have limited instruction, therefore some level of yoga experience and knowledge of safe alignment practices is required.

Voices from the Path: True Listening by Jen Carpenter

My name is Jen Carpenter, and I have been

hearing impaired for about eight years.

My family and I moved to North Arlington

almost two years ago. I have one amazing

little boy, a very loving husband and an

extremely athletic border collie, who took on

the role as my trainer in the mornings when

we started hiking a few miles each day. I

wanted to join a yoga class initially to help me

find a way to relax and find inner peace, it

seems life is full of things to keep you on the

go and create tension. I often forget to stop

and just observe the immediate presence

around me and see how truly amazing my

life, and those within it really are…I was

reluctant to start because I wasn’t sure how I

would be able to follow along and

understand everything that was going on

during class.

Finally, I mustered up some courage and

decided I would sign up for a session during

Lent. I experienced a warm sense of

welcoming and calming as I walked in for my

first session with Annie. Over the last several

weeks, and now starting my third session, I find

myself looking forward to every class along with a strong desire to do more.

Throughout my classes, and without the full use of one of my senses, I have discovered not just

an evolving inner calm, but also a deeper sense of presence surrounding me. I find during class I

am always aware of every movement and vibration. This is something I do regularly, but never

with such awareness. There are still times in class when I find it hard to relax because I am afraid if

I close my eyes I might open them and find everyone in a completely different pose. I laugh

when I think about that. After a while I realized it’s no big deal and I have to let go of that fear

and just be. I find my sense of trust in others around me to be very comforting.

I have found yoga to be everything I hoped for in regards to finding peace within my busy

schedule, and it gives me a strong feeling of acceptance knowing it’s ok to just be in the

moment. I look forward to continuing this adventure and enhancing my life with an even

stronger sense of peace. This in turn will help me embrace the love that surrounds me.
